Ok so I recently purchased 6 zebra danios and have decided they are the first fish I would like to attempt to breed, I have read a few things about placing pairs into a breeding tank, how do I know when they have made a pair, or should I just put all 6 of them in? Also how do I know for sure I...

Ok so I have had a 90g tank set up for months now, I originally used seeded media and had it sitting on 0ammonia, 0 nitrites and low nitrates, with 2 juvenile bristlenose plecos, a red tail shark and 10 neons. I have since added 4 2.5inch clown loaches and have had off the charts ammonia since...

Hi all, I have a RedTail shark who for a lack of a better word is schooling with my 4 clown loaches. He deffinetly isn't chasing them or darting at them, he just swims around with and acts like he is one of them. Anyone else experience this? Or is this maybe his way of attacking them I just...

I everyone, turned on my tank lights today after a few days blackout due to heat and found a weird white substance over my sand. I'm thinking possibly snail eggs from my plants but there is just so much of it, any suggestions ?

Hi all, ok my stock is 2 peppermint plecos 7 neons 4 clown Loaches Just wondering what I should feed these fishes and how much, The plecos are just under 2 inches The clown loaches are about 2 inches And the neons are neon size lol. I have algae wafers, shrimp pellets, and tropical fish flakes...

While doing PWCs iv never really worried about the temperature of the water I'm putting back it. But I assume for fish health it would be better to add the same temperature? How do people using the tap fed pythons check for correct water temp then? Or is it all best guess with them? Thanks

Is it ok allowable to let the ammonia spike a bit just after adding new fishes or should I do a pwc to get it down? It's a 90g tank and the reading is between .25 and .50. I added 4 2.5 inch clown loaches. Tank is cycled. Please advise me :)

Hey everyone just thought I would share what I found today at a LPS, I've only seen a few threads on freshwater stingrays. I first saw this ray a few weeks back and he seemed lively and swimming around. He didn't look to good today though. The way the move about and the overall style is just...

Ok first things first I just want to confirm this is a peppermint pleco? I brought him as a peppermint pleco and he looks like one to me but there is just so many different types I could never know for sure. Second question is do u think he is male or female or is there no real way to tell?

Hey all, been keeping a eye on my tank temperature as I new it was starting to get hot down here in Australia. And it was sitting steady on about 75 and the last day or two had been fairly warm to I looked at the thermometer and it was reading at 82.4 which aqadvisor says it a bit too high for...

Hey all i have just purchased 2 small peppermint BN plecos and got them home but have just had a thought, how do I get the out of the bag and into a bucket to drip acclimate them? Will the just stay in the bag sucking on the bottom or will they swim out with the water? Thanks for any help :)

Hi there, im really new to planted tanks and last week purchased a few from my local pet store. but none of their plants where labeled so im just after so names and details of what i have. i have pictures so any help is good thanks. 1st 2nd and 3rd thanks for any help :)

I brought some plants last week, washed them really good and added then to my tank. Was thinking yea all is going good until today when I look at the tank and see a small little snail just cruising around the tank glass So I have a few questions, I removed him from the tank but am wondering...

Would a 90 gallon tank be big enough for some clown loaches, 10 neons, two Bristnose plecos, and maybe a few other small fish?

Don't know if the link will work or not but that is my stocking ideas so far. Can figure out the exact volume as it is a juwel tank I'm planning on getting and the website says volume is 350 litres, but when I put the dimensions in it tells me it's a 400litre tank? Anyway what do you guys think...

I had a look at this tank in store and cannot figure out if there is an part on the top that opens to allow access for feeding. It seems the lighting module covers the whole front and would need to be lifted or moved each time. Am I missing something or does it just not open? Thanks :)

ok foolishly 3 months ago i purchased 3 red tailed sharks (Epalzeorhynchos bicolor) not knowing that they can get fairly aggressive towards each other in one tank, and my tank is small. anyway i am planing to upgrade to a 240 litre/63 gallon tank in about a week or 2. now i have never...

hey guys, just wondering if any has any ideas on how i could use filter media from a cycled aquaone all-in-one wet/dry hood filter in a juwel intank filter. i simply dont see how the media would fit in. any suggestions would be nice if anyone has done it before. i havent purchased a new tank...

hi everyone, just a quick question, i currently have a AquaOne AquaStyle 510 with a built in wet and dry filter in the hood. my question is, the instructions say to replace the carbon filter cartridges every 6 weeks, but most places i have read say this will get rid of good bacteria, so i'm not...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and have just receantly set up a fresh water tank and completed a fishless cycle. I'm planning on getting a BGK but my LFS recommended to get some neons just to be sure the water is fine for the BGK. so now my tank has 10 neons swimming in it. the shop told me to feed...
